In April 2016 I had to use the med bag for a 2nd time. Both occurred on the highway and in the rain. The road flares were essential to redirect traffic and on lookers so I didn't get "hit" during my assessment. One person was beyond the help I could offer, everyone else involved in this wreak (4 people total) had minor if no injuries. They were scared and it was cold and rainy, I tossed a couple survival blankets over them then made my exfil as emergency arrived. No TQ's, no bandages just two road flares and two Mylar blankets. Sometimes it's the simple stuff that makes it easier for professional first responders and add a tiny bit of comfort to the victims. Be the one to ACT!! Probably 20-40 cars were stopped just watching me run around in the rain and triage 3 of the 4 people......Matt K.
Awesome vid and awesome update Bro. Glad you were there for them folks! Prime example of how important EDC'ing your truck is and not only for yourself but also for those who are in need of help! Keep the vids coming!
it's great to see someone so prepared to help others and not just yourself...this world needs more people with your compassion. Big thumbs up from Hong Kong!
Nice well thought out kit. Some things to consider about your setup: First, that stuff is way too visible in your vehicle, especially the boxes of ammo. Tint those back windows to dark dark and then keep anything that says you have guns... like ammo boxes and "tactical guy" stickers from advertising that you have guns in your car or house. These things make your car a target for smash and grab and your house a target when your truck isn't home. I had a Bronco that I painted the inside of the rear side windows with mat black spray paint and then I tinted the black glass super dark as well. It worked perfectly to make the outside of the glass look like the darkest tint you've ever seen and hid everything inside the truck nicely. Next, those plastic water bottles leach chemicals into the water as they sit in a hot car. Instead get a stainless water container that you can refill periodically. Lastly, on the TH-cam channel "Project Farm" he does a fix-a-flat comparison and the product you have there comes in dead last for being effective at actually fixing a flat. Check out his channel and you'll end up throwing that can of crap right in the trash can like I did. All in all your set up is fantastic and I will end up copying some of it to make my set up better. Hopefully we can learn from each other. Otherwise, what the hell are we doing here, right?
Thanks for watching, a couple things. This video is several years old, I say that I don't usually have ammo lying around. Most of all, I've probably had 100 comments for this very video telling me I'm gonna get robbed. I sold that Yukon with 180,000 miles and it was never once broken into. I explained in the comments how that vehicle was almost never unsupervised due to the job i was working and my personal parking conditions. Good comments tho, take care.
good to know dudes like you have got our backs! thanks man. as a global society we all have our gifts to this world. I am grateful for people who take safety and emergency preparedness to this level. no man is an island. one love, one planet, one race. may peace rein
farmer mike Thank you, i just wish more people would carry trauma medical in their cars. People get way to concerned with the "im not a dr, or, i dont know how to use that stuff". You can get training and practice the basics and maybe a dr. or nurse on their day off is driving by, etc. Bottom line is I would rather have it than need it, same principle as carrying a defensive weapon. Take care
Just a tip, I put SOLAS tape on the edges of my door and hatch back, this tape is highly reflective and durable usually only in silver for ocean rescue but you can get it in red. when your doors are open at night u can really see it and only visible when you open the doors or hatch. very good for a dark road and visible to traffic coming from behind you. Nice video.
I like the visor set up. I keep a 2 D or 3 D Mag light in my door pocket. Good for light, but also a weapon if you need it. I almost had to use mine as a weapon one night.
GOOD KIT...you might want to add..small metal pot for cooking,,small pup tent...and a good solar battery charger with jumper cables..also a small water filtration device if you don't already....love the vids...also un your clothing kit always add several pairs of different socks...warm and light..
maybe i am late on this but i just wanted to say that this was one of the best and most relevant videos and helpful for a beginner prepper like me to view. i based my vehicle prep bag off of your contents. i have a family of 4 and this really put me and my wife at ease. thanks man. i watched this a couple times now.
Good setup for whether its just a simple road hazard/emergeny or a true SHTF GH/BO scenario. Gotta love the storage compartments in a Yukon! Most of your gear could easily be concealed if you were leaving the vehicle.
I don't understand the hate!!! I enjoyed the video!! my van is full of stuff I could possibly need, because even if I use it once a year at least I have it!! thanks for the video!!
Good ideas thanks for the video. living in Arizona we have to modify things since the summer months are insanely hot in your car...I've had things melt and leak all over the place, but most of the stuff is the same.
I like how your truck is loaded. I was thinking of finding or making a bag to hang off the seats in my car to make sure there is adequate gear and supplies for at least 4 people. When you have a small vehicle you need to find space.
Suggestion: When anyone makes a video such as this, PLEASE include info about the gear you are showing! Specifically the cool Visor Organizer and headrest Medic Bag. The viewer might like to know how to get it for themselves. So suggest you let us know the make and model of the items and maybe where you got them. About the Baofeng hand-held radio and microphone... That is a transceiver that operates on the amateur radio bands, and as such requires a license from the FCC to transmit. It also can transmit on GMRS which requires an FCC license too. Of course, no license is needed just to receive, but you don't need a microphone to receive. The Baofeng does have capability to transmit on MURS, and FRS bands which do not require a license to transmit. You may know all of that, but the viewer may not, so that should be explained in the video. But I want to let you know that I did appreciate your video and only make these comments for constructive input.
I am really liking that vehicle visor. Could really use something like that. Will be picking one up. I have a Suburban, so it should fit perfectly. Great vid.
Very nice, comprehensive kit. My only thought is that the fire extinguisher should be in a place where you can reach it from the seats, in case you're trapped in the vehicle. I have mine mounted to the front side of the rear seats with velcro and it con be easily reached from anywhere in the car but that might not be an option in a bigger vehicle
I agree with Jeffro. If you live in or bring this setup into any kind of urban area you will very likely have your vehicle broken into and all of your belongings stolen. I keep all of my EDC in my trunk, out of site. I know this isn't really an option in an SUV. I would recommend placing everything in something like a Pacsafe type rig that would offer at least some theft protection.
I used to jack stuff from cars years ago in my hay day. I can tell you that if I didn't see something I was interested, then it wasn't worth my time breaking into it. Had I seen that visor, the medic bag, and maybe even the backpack in back, I would instantly think military and that its probably not in my best interest to screw with this vehicle. Plus on the surface all you see is a huge backpack, some other military style bag on the seat and the visor. The only thing that i would KNOW was of any kind of value would maybe be the car stereo and the radio on the visor. Because of my past I also feel that if you have anything so valuable that it would be irreplaceable or cause financial strain to have to replace the item, then you should be at least locking your doors and at best installing a car alarm. If you can afford the toys then you can afford to protect them. If you don't protect them, then you might as well roll out the red carpet, light up the marquee, and send out the invites, because you're leaving yourself wide open and only displaying your ignorance. I used to pick my targets firstly seeing what kind of vehicle they drove. If I heard a pounding system, then it didn't matter what kind of vehicle it was, it was now a target. If I saw a blinking light telling me there was an alarm, I didn't mess with it. If the doors were locked and I saw something worth getting in for, id shatter the window and pop the lock. I also knew vehicles that liked to advertise/brag about what brand equipment they had in their vehicles, with stickers. We called these "steal me stickers." By doing that you might as well be sending invites because you're telling me what I want to know and I don't even have to look in the windows. Anyway I say all that to say, it doesn't matter where you live, there are people (tweakers or otherwise) that will steal your stuff if they want it bad enough. So protect it the best you can. If you don't, then I guess my thought is, its your fault. After all you left that door wide open and set up the perfect opportunity. Sadly that's the world we live in. Its up to you to protect your stuff. Take the advice from someone who acquired over $10,000 worth of electronics (car stereos, amps, subs, laptops, desktops, other misc. electronics) in a matter of 4-6 months.
M y bug out truck will be set up for my county and the county's around me. I got a foldup cart to put my kit in if I got to ditch my truck. If I got to ditch the cart, I got my backpack.
Hey Matt, You're an optimist...you described your bottled water as getting half full and then replacing not HALF EMPTY...you can handle very stressful situations far better then most.
If I could suggest something for your truck . I would suggest a few more tools such as socket sets and vice grips channel locks and some wood blocks or pieces of 4x4 post for stacking , and a hydraulic jack
Ok folks, just so the haters can stfu. I have jump cables and 2 different tool kits. I didn't feel like I had to show those items as those are a given. I really appreciate all the great comments and suggestions,thanks for watching!
I assume you have the standard stuff. Even if you didn't AAA is readily available just like normal people use. You're definitely a lot more squared away than the average driver. I just got my first automobile in ten years, got into self reliance 5 years ago so this is a new niche for me to dive into. Haters gonna hate.....
Shinobi HOG hate us cause they anus! AAA is useless if you cant make a phone call. Also, alot of the time im out in the "mountains" off the beaten path. Never only rely on a reactive service ie:AAA, police, fire, EMT. They all take time, usually a long time. This is about having the capability to help yourself or others when the pro's cant. Thanks for watching. Enjoy setting up your vehicle, feel free to message me with questions.
Blast sb right and if you're setting up your vehicle with med kits, flashlights, ammo compartments then 99% of people will have the standard stuff covered long before the medical kit idea crosses their mind. Totally with you on that one. AAA is a nice to have, like you said like EMS and LEO. I'm a free person so I don't rely on them either.....
+Blast sb Take it easy Blastoff. Why is trying to help you considered hating? Quit being such a defensive doof. I assumed you'd have it too but since you didn't mention these items, some people would think you didn't have them.
I work with what i have. Practically and realistically we're most likely gonna be in our everyday driver when YOUR fight comes. I would love to cruise a decked out truck with all the fixins. more about basic survival in hostel environments than a true bug out vehicle. Thanks for watching. ..
Looks like the back of my truck too. I'm on the lookout for a storage bin that can hold the back pack and water so it doesn't slide around or stick out so much.
brandon patrie Thanks my friend, when i originally set it up in my Yukon i just DONT want to be 2 things. 1) Passersby or looky-loo 2) A person that needs medical/trauma treatment when the ambulance is 15 minutes away at best. hope it works out for you, thanks for watching!!
thanks brother. honestly tho ive watched this video literally since you posted it. and i studied it to no end lol. love your content. stay awesome brother.
brandon patrie: Glad that you got some info from this vid. Remember, what I need may be different for you. Weather gear etc. Check out the On the Firing Line watchlist, more guns and gear to come. You can ask us any question on Facebook at (On the Firing Line with Matt and Joe). we will be doing weekly videos for awhile. stay dangerous
Seems like it seems like a good kit but I would include one other thing which would be either a set of jumper cables or a jump box with possibly a air pump and wired to your 12 V
good advice. I do have jump cables and a tool kit, i didnt feel like i needed to film that. Most cars no matter ars gonna have a very basic tool kit and cables. that being said, i probably jump a car every month or so at the gas station near my house, lol. Thanks for watching
One issue, when I drove tractor trailer rigs I always kept a jacket kind of inside out, over my seat back so that I could pull it on if I was trapped or exiting my truck in the event of a roll over.
Hey boss, where did you happen to get that medical kit that's on the back of the passenger seat? also what kind of bag are you using for your bugout bag that's in the trunk? I have been prepping for a little while now, but I am looking to change some things up as far as my truck, and the bag itself. Thanks!
I think a general tool kit would be a good idea. Just for easy repairs on the vehicle. Maybe even nails to go with the hammer just incase. As well maybe a machete, I keep one in the back of my vehicle.
funny timing. I have several gel packs in my backpack. Yesterday there was sticky stuff all over my bag and carpet. yep, one busted. thanks for watching.
Amazing load-out, but I have one big concern: theft. You seem to have a lot of pricey stuff lying out for any passer-by to see, separated only by a window. Theft from cars is a fairly common crime, and a gun or lo-jack system won't protect you from it.
Your right, theft is a large concern. It is a responsibility to watch over such gear, I park in an indoor secured garage or in front of work ( a place that most likely would not be a concern). I also have the ability to detach the visor panels very quickly and stow them when in a public setting. thank you for watching, Stay safe!!
Jumper Cables? also might not be a bad idea to carry a blanket both for medical reasons and almost everywhere because it gets cold at night. Empty gas can is never a bad thing either. If you have to hoof it to the nearest station cause you ran out that 1 gal can does not take up much room.
+wb5mgr if he has to walk to a gas station anyway he can pay the higher price at the convenience store. Who the hell runs out of gas anyway..women and morons.
I do have the basic necessary and common sense things in my car also, but noway can I set it up the way you did simply because I park at home in a public area, and leaving stuff where it can be seen would only be an invitation for a break in. So, almost everything is in my trunk.
Just a quick tip, your radio will operate better if you have it mounted in the vertical position, that way the polarization of the antenna is correct. Or just get a roof-mounted antenna to hook it up to. Google "antenna polarization" for more info.
Ok I know it won't matter if shtf because if they see all of that gear they will steal your car, but right now, if I see that stuff and I'm a thief I'm thinking there's something valuable in those bags and tool boxes
that was my first thought about the med bag on the headrest...but then again i have a car low to the ground and no tint... if I had my suv that i used to have the back windows with factory tinted I think I could get away with the med bag on the head rest and definitely the stuff in the back
Blast sb Maybe get a jumper box along with the cables and small air compressor for your tires they super convenient as well.And are the tires run flats? And what kind of bag is that hanging from your passenger seat?good vid man I had never seen that rescue me tool before. what brand is? I cant find one with the little light.
Smart! Allow me to make one small suggestion regarding your water. You may want to consider keeping it covered and protected from the sun's rays. The plastic bottles are known to release chemicals into the water. Your presentation was not bad at all. Very smart. MarineChaps0311
@@blast_sb I had a breakdown on a lonely road not long ago and now have woken up to being prepared - I was cold, no jacket, ludicrous really - so I'm learning all I can now.
@@lilyandrose8557 Over the years Ive seen many car wrecks or been the first person to show up at a scene of an accident. Warmth was one of the major learning points for me. 2 of the wrecks were in the rain and the victims were shivering cold. I then went and got a half dozen emergency space blankets for my cars medical kit. I have since used them once, a young lady was in shock but uninjured after a head on crash and kept trying to walk around aimlessly. I sat her down on the curb and put a blanket over her and she quickly calmed down, a little comfort can go a long way in a trauma situation. Sometimes people are just "looking" for anything. feel free to ask questions if you decide to put together a vehicle medical kit. Stay safe, Matt
Hi Matt. This was a well thought out video. When I search for the Condor Modular Deployment Bag it does not look on top like the one you have mounted. Your video shows some extra straps on top. The SOE Vehicle Visor Cover is the one I think you are referring to. Here's a link. www.originalsoegear.com/products/vehicle-visor-cover Could you please clarify the UVR Radio with detachable mike. I can't find the Atax tarp and the heavy duty tow cable. Do you have a recommendation on the size or strength of what to look for? What was the brand of the 72hr bug out bag? It was hard to read. Do you have a PDF of what you recommend carrying the Condor Modular Deployment Bag? Thank you for putting this video out. It makes a difference.
Hello, yes the link to the visor cover is correct. They also make the current vehicle med bag I have (I have a video about it) in my car. www.armysurplusworld.com/tactical-deployment-bag#92=1781 this link should take you to the condor bag. You can do a google search for "condor deployment pack/bag and it comes right up. The radio is a Beofeng uv-5r+, you can get them for $30 on amazon, the mic is additional but inexpensive. Feel free to ask follow up questions. I could make a pdf of vehicle gear. Let me know.
Hi Matt. Thank you for the link to the Condor Modular Deployment bag. The link made the difference. Here is a link for the Beofeng UV-5R+: www.amazon.com/dp/B00T60B8V0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_91k3FbK89WPFG?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 A PDF or a video on what you carry in the Condor Modular Deployment bag (w/links) would be really helpful. The other 72 hour bag that you kept in the trunk, I could not read the brand. Also what do you recommend for the heavy duty cables you talked about for towing? Thank you for answering my questions. It really helps.
Great Kit. Unfortunately, where I live, my window would be smashed and all of it would be stolen. I need to leave my stuff at home and have it ready to go.
but most vids I watch, have everything except basic tools. So if its something simple like changing a hose or taking out the battery. They don't have the simple tools to do that! Yet they have the ability to make a fire, on the side of the highway, wth?!
so true man, the pointless redundant garbage people bring with them, 5 diff ways to make primitive fire but not a tool or lick of knowledge how to take care of themselves or there vehicles Kevis Johnson
I keep two tool kits under the passenger seats. I don't cliam to be a mechanic by any means, I have gained a lot of knowledge running a chase truck in the Baja 1000 in 06' and 07'. Thanks for watching.
Thx for the vid you provided several ideas that i have not thought of so i decided to subscribe. Should you come across addition items, bags or any misc facts id like to stay connected. Also the first aid kit behind the passenger seat. Could you provide the place where you picked it up? Thx
An FYI on water bottled in plastic. that plastic is not meant for long-term storage. It starts to break down and release chemicals into the water in temps over 70* and direct sunlight. Its obviously better than nothing in an emergency but if you plan of rotating it out as drinking water, you may want to consider something else
well put, but i believe he uses the water frequently, i ddi the same thing at airsoft matches, hot sunny days, ill prepped kids, always good to pack some for open use.
i like the setup. I came away from the vid with a few ideas. From the water in the back and your shirt I would say you are in PHX. I bet your Get Home Bag/BOB has sun block. Good stuff!
Great load out! Nice to see more people out there thinking ahead for the possibility of helping others and not just themselves! I agree with others, I would expand the vehicle kit to include some tools for vehicle repair. Also maybe a fold-able shovel/axe, and a bag of kitty litter/shop absorbent (help to clean up vehicle spills/ added traction when spread under tire if ever stuck). What kind of cable is that or where did you get it?
You’re a bit obsessed with medical gear, aren’t you? I have a first responder kit (in pickup bed toolbox), which I thought was a bit much. You appear to have several times that spread throughout the vehicle.
So I've got a question. First of all I live in east TN, I wanna get some flares and extinguisher in my suv. I'm concerned though because of the hot summers and cold winters. Will those products be ok to stay in the car at all times in all climate conditions?
not really sure. however, an extinguisher is good to operate from -65 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The flares are also probably stable enough for the conditions. thanks for watching!
I live in New Hampshire and have no problem with my 2 fire extinguishers in my truck also have had flairs in all of my cars and trucks from when I lived In California to here never had a problem
So many people worried about theft I have never had any thing stolen and have just as much as you and I Love the load out you have but would upgrade that cable to a tow rated chain . I have seen those cables brake under heavy load
In April 2016 I had to use the med bag for a 2nd time. Both occurred on the highway and in the rain. The road flares were essential to redirect traffic and on lookers so I didn't get "hit" during my assessment. One person was beyond the help I could offer, everyone else involved in this wreak (4 people total) had minor if no injuries. They were scared and it was cold and rainy, I tossed a couple survival blankets over them then made my exfil as emergency arrived. No TQ's, no bandages just two road flares and two Mylar blankets.

Right on. Thanks for watching. I'm thinking of doing an updated vid of the same vehicle.
Looking forward to it! I'm getting a truck of my own so I'm taking notes!
Blast sb. what's the name of your head rest pouch?
So you effectively did nothing - could not help one, others had some scratches.
it's great to see someone so prepared to help others and not just yourself...this world needs more people with your compassion. Big thumbs up from Hong Kong!
What a great set up very inspirational
Nice well thought out kit. Some things to consider about your setup:
First, that stuff is way too visible in your vehicle, especially the boxes of ammo. Tint those back windows to dark dark and then keep anything that says you have guns... like ammo boxes and "tactical guy" stickers from advertising that you have guns in your car or house. These things make your car a target for smash and grab and your house a target when your truck isn't home.
I had a Bronco that I painted the inside of the rear side windows with mat black spray paint and then I tinted the black glass super dark as well. It worked perfectly to make the outside of the glass look like the darkest tint you've ever seen and hid everything inside the truck nicely.
Next, those plastic water bottles leach chemicals into the water as they sit in a hot car. Instead get a stainless water container that you can refill periodically.
Lastly, on the TH-cam channel "Project Farm" he does a fix-a-flat comparison and the product you have there comes in dead last for being effective at actually fixing a flat. Check out his channel and you'll end up throwing that can of crap right in the trash can like I did.

Bottom line is I would rather have it than need it, same principle as carrying a defensive weapon. Take care
Great vid with some good ideas. I really like the idea of clipping a med bag to the back of a headrest.
Awesome video. That is some kind of prepared. Saw some things I'd never thought of. Thanks for sharing.
That's pretty awesome. You could basically set up a miniature hospital in the dark with all those flashlights and med kits.
The S.O.E. gear is rad to see in action. Their visor and back-of-seat molle panels look cool when their in action. Thanx for the ideas
Just a tip, I put SOLAS tape on the edges of my door and hatch back, this tape is highly reflective and durable usually only in silver for ocean rescue but you can get it in red. when your doors are open at night u can really see it and only visible when you open the doors or hatch. very good for a dark road and visible to traffic coming from behind you.

Good ideas thanks for the video. living in Arizona we have to modify things since the summer months are insanely hot in your car...I've had things melt and leak all over the place, but most of the stuff is the same.
heat can be a real bitch, expecially in a vehicle. I find the windshield shades useful for some things. Thanks for watching
I like how your truck is loaded. I was thinking of finding or making a bag to hang off the seats in my car to make sure there is adequate gear and supplies for at least 4 people. When you have a small vehicle you need to find space.

just got the visor from seeing this video.
nice ideas bro
just subbed :)

I used to pick my targets firstly seeing what kind of vehicle they drove. If I heard a pounding system, then it didn't matter what kind of vehicle it was, it was now a target.
If I saw a blinking light telling me there was an alarm, I didn't mess with it. If the doors were locked and I saw something worth getting in for, id shatter the window and pop the lock. I also knew vehicles that liked to advertise/brag about what brand equipment they had in their vehicles, with stickers. We called these "steal me stickers." By doing that you might as well be sending invites because you're telling me what I want to know and I don't even have to look in the windows.
Anyway I say all that to say, it doesn't matter where you live, there are people (tweakers or otherwise) that will steal your stuff if they want it bad enough. So protect it the best you can. If you don't, then I guess my thought is, its your fault. After all you left that door wide open and set up the perfect opportunity. Sadly that's the world we live in. Its up to you to protect your stuff. Take the advice from someone who acquired over $10,000 worth of electronics (car stereos, amps, subs, laptops, desktops, other misc. electronics) in a matter of 4-6 months.
I really like the video brother, and the channel, Im looking forward to more great videos from you!
M y bug out truck will be set up for my county and the county's around me.
I got a foldup cart to put my kit in if I got to ditch my truck.
If I got to ditch the cart, I got my backpack.
Hey Matt, You're an optimist...you described your bottled water as getting half full and then replacing not HALF EMPTY...you can handle very stressful situations far better then most.
If I could suggest something for your truck . I would suggest a few more tools such as socket sets and vice grips channel locks and some wood blocks or pieces of 4x4 post for stacking , and a hydraulic jack
Ok folks, just so the haters can stfu. I have jump cables and 2 different tool kits. I didn't feel like I had to show those items as those are a given. I really appreciate all the great comments and suggestions,thanks for watching!
I assume you have the standard stuff. Even if you didn't AAA is readily available just like normal people use. You're definitely a lot more squared away than the average driver. I just got my first automobile in ten years, got into self reliance 5 years ago so this is a new niche for me to dive into. Haters gonna hate.....
Shinobi HOG hate us cause they anus! AAA is useless if you cant make a phone call. Also, alot of the time im out in the "mountains" off the beaten path. Never only rely on a reactive service ie:AAA, police, fire, EMT. They all take time, usually a long time. This is about having the capability to help yourself or others when the pro's cant. Thanks for watching. Enjoy setting up your vehicle, feel free to message me with questions.
Blast sb right and if you're setting up your vehicle with med kits, flashlights, ammo compartments then 99% of people will have the standard stuff covered long before the medical kit idea crosses their mind. Totally with you on that one. AAA is a nice to have, like you said like EMS and LEO. I'm a free person so I don't rely on them either.....
+Blast sb Take it easy Blastoff. Why is trying to help you considered hating? Quit being such a defensive doof. I assumed you'd have it too but since you didn't mention these items, some people would think you didn't have them.
hey, man, you´ve done a very good job with this video, got pretty good stuff in your car.
Well done, greetings vom germany
I work with what i have. Practically and realistically we're most likely gonna be in our everyday driver when YOUR fight comes.
I would love to cruise a decked out truck with all the fixins.
more about basic survival in hostel environments than a true bug out vehicle.
Thanks for watching. ..
Looks like the back of my truck too. I'm on the lookout for a storage bin that can hold the back pack and water so it doesn't slide around or stick out so much.
Thanks for share. Gracias pr compartir amigo!!
your set up has literally been what i followed and did awesome video bro.
brandon patrie Thanks my friend, when i originally set it up in my Yukon i just DONT want to be 2 things. 1) Passersby or looky-loo 2) A person that needs medical/trauma treatment when the ambulance is 15 minutes away at best.
hope it works out for you, thanks for watching!!
thanks brother. honestly tho ive watched this video literally since you posted it. and i studied it to no end lol. love your content. stay awesome brother.
brandon patrie: Glad that you got some info from this vid. Remember, what I need may be different for you. Weather gear etc. Check out the On the Firing Line watchlist, more guns and gear to come. You can ask us any question on Facebook at (On the Firing Line with Matt and Joe). we will be doing weekly videos for awhile. stay dangerous
I like that visor system you have set up.
Good video and thanks for stepping up to help people. Scott
The bag is a Condor modular deployment bag. Thanks for the subs!
Seems like it seems like a good kit but I would include one other thing which would be either a set of jumper cables or a jump box with possibly a air pump and wired to your 12 V
good advice. I do have jump cables and a tool kit, i didnt feel like i needed to film that. Most cars no matter ars gonna have a very basic tool kit and cables. that being said, i probably jump a car every month or so at the gas station near my house, lol. Thanks for watching
One issue, when I drove tractor trailer rigs I always kept a jacket kind of inside out, over my seat back so that I could pull it on if I was trapped or exiting my truck in the event of a roll over.
I'm starting to do a vehicle, thanks for all the great ideas.
Thanks for watching. Don't forget some basics that I didn't mention. Jumper cables, small lantern, basic tools, etc. have fun, be safe.
The medical bag in this video is a condor deployment bag.
this med pack in your car remains me on the maxpedition sabercat bag
Which state you in bro?

Hey boss, where did you happen to get that medical kit that's on the back of the passenger seat? also what kind of bag are you using for your bugout bag that's in the trunk? I have been prepping for a little while now, but I am looking to change some things up as far as my truck, and the bag itself. Thanks!
I think a general tool kit would be a good idea. Just for easy repairs on the vehicle. Maybe even nails to go with the hammer just incase. As well maybe a machete, I keep one in the back of my vehicle.
Clif bars and gel packs very good choice good stuff
funny timing. I have several gel packs in my backpack. Yesterday there was sticky stuff all over my bag and carpet. yep, one busted. thanks for watching.
A good investment to add to this setup is a set of jumper cables and an extra battery if you have the funds to afford it but other than that its great
Amazing load-out, but I have one big concern: theft. You seem to have a lot of pricey stuff lying out for any passer-by to see, separated only by a window. Theft from cars is a fairly common crime, and a gun or lo-jack system won't protect you from it.
Your right, theft is a large concern. It is a responsibility to watch over such gear, I park in an indoor secured garage or in front of work ( a place that most likely would not be a concern). I also have the ability to detach the visor panels very quickly and stow them when in a public setting. thank you for watching, Stay safe!!
Sensible and, unlike many similar info vids, fairly relevant to drivers outside the USA.
+John Smith Thanks for that input. I honestly haven't even thought of it on a "outside USA" scale. Thanks for watching, sub if your inclined.
Jumper Cables? also might not be a bad idea to carry a blanket both for medical reasons and almost everywhere because it gets cold at night. Empty gas can is never a bad thing either. If you have to hoof it to the nearest station cause you ran out that 1 gal can does not take up much room.
+wb5mgr if he has to walk to a gas station anyway he can pay the higher price at the convenience store. Who the hell runs out of gas anyway..women and morons.
Good ideas, good video. Thanks for sharing.
Good video, great tips. Where did you get the cool visor? Would love to have one for my truck.
I do have the basic necessary and common sense things in my car also, but noway can I set it up the way you did simply because I park at home in a public area, and leaving stuff where it can be seen would only be an invitation for a break in. So, almost everything is in my trunk.
You r prepared like a pro awesome!
Just a quick tip, your radio will operate better if you have it mounted in the vertical position, that way the polarization of the antenna is correct. Or just get a roof-mounted antenna to hook it up to. Google "antenna polarization" for more info.
What is the brand of molle visor and that hanging vehicle med kit? Nice setup by the way.
I love the Rescue Me tool. I am going to get some of them for my family.
Good job, clean and organized
Ok I know it won't matter if shtf because if they see all of that gear they will steal your car, but right now, if I see that stuff and I'm a thief I'm thinking there's something valuable in those bags and tool boxes
that was my first thought about the med bag on the headrest...but then again i have a car low to the ground and no tint... if I had my suv that i used to have the back windows with factory tinted I think I could get away with the med bag on the head rest and definitely the stuff in the back
Still zero break-ins after 4 years. Put 240,000 miles on it and still, zero break-ins... just a update.
Nice
Blast sb Maybe get a jumper box along with the cables and small air compressor for your tires they super convenient as well.And are the tires run flats? And what kind of bag is that hanging from your passenger seat?good vid man I had never seen that rescue me tool before. what brand is? I cant find one with the little light.
Smart! Allow me to make one small suggestion regarding your water. You may want to consider keeping it covered and protected from the sun's rays. The plastic bottles are known to release chemicals into the water. Your presentation was not bad at all. Very smart.
MarineChaps0311
that sun visor molle cover is great
I love this kind of "Rucksack"/Belly Bag on the chair beside the drivers seat (with the Aluminium Water bottle). Where did u got it?
Wow!! Nice loaded car
How did you strap that fire extinguisher there ?
Hello that's a nice set up you have. where can I find the sun visor holder like that?
what a great guy, very cool & good example
So nice it makes me think of a trap...lol. thanks for watching!
@@blast_sb I had a breakdown on a lonely road not long ago and now have woken up to being prepared - I was cold, no jacket, ludicrous really - so I'm learning all I can now.
@@lilyandrose8557 Over the years Ive seen many car wrecks or been the first person to show up at a scene of an accident. Warmth was one of the major learning points for me. 2 of the wrecks were in the rain and the victims were shivering cold. I then went and got a half dozen emergency space blankets for my cars medical kit. I have since used them once, a young lady was in shock but uninjured after a head on crash and kept trying to walk around aimlessly. I sat her down on the curb and put a blanket over her and she quickly calmed down, a little comfort can go a long way in a trauma situation. Sometimes people are just "looking" for anything.
feel free to ask questions if you decide to put together a vehicle medical kit.
Stay safe,
Matt
Cool setup I like the visor gear holder. Are you a ham radio operator?
Hi Matt.
This was a well thought out video.
When I search for the Condor Modular Deployment Bag it does not look on top like the one you have mounted. Your video shows some extra straps on top.
The SOE Vehicle Visor Cover is the one I think you are referring to. Here's a link.
www.originalsoegear.com/products/vehicle-visor-cover
Could you please clarify the UVR Radio with detachable mike.
I can't find the Atax tarp and the heavy duty tow cable. Do you have a recommendation on the size or strength of what to look for?
What was the brand of the 72hr bug out bag? It was hard to read.
Do you have a PDF of what you recommend carrying the Condor Modular Deployment Bag?
Thank you for putting this video out. It makes a difference.
Hello, yes the link to the visor cover is correct. They also make the current vehicle med bag I have (I have a video about it) in my car.
www.armysurplusworld.com/tactical-deployment-bag#92=1781 this link should take you to the condor bag. You can do a google search for "condor deployment pack/bag and it comes right up.
The radio is a Beofeng uv-5r+, you can get them for $30 on amazon, the mic is additional but inexpensive.
Feel free to ask follow up questions. I could make a pdf of vehicle gear. Let me know.
Hi Matt.
Thank you for the link to the Condor Modular Deployment bag. The link made the difference.
Here is a link for the Beofeng UV-5R+:
www.amazon.com/dp/B00T60B8V0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_91k3FbK89WPFG?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
A PDF or a video on what you carry in the Condor Modular Deployment bag (w/links) would be really helpful.
The other 72 hour bag that you kept in the trunk, I could not read the brand. Also what do you recommend for the heavy duty cables you talked about for towing?
Thank you for answering my questions. It really helps.
Hi Matt, great info that has given me lots of ideas. who makes the visor you are showing, that thing is fantastic!
Great Kit. Unfortunately, where I live, my window would be smashed and all of it would be stolen. I need to leave my stuff at home and have it ready to go.
Well thought out...very nice!
finally some 1 integrated a tool box in there car bag , you sir are winning
but most vids I watch, have everything except basic tools. So if its something simple like changing a hose or taking out the battery. They don't have the simple tools to do that! Yet they have the ability to make a fire, on the side of the highway, wth?!
so true man, the pointless redundant garbage people bring with them, 5 diff ways to make primitive fire but not a tool or lick of knowledge how to take care of themselves or there vehicles Kevis Johnson
I keep two tool kits under the passenger seats. I don't cliam to be a mechanic by any means, I have gained a lot of knowledge running a chase truck in the Baja 1000 in 06' and 07'. Thanks for watching.
Thx for the vid you provided several ideas that i have not thought of so i decided to subscribe. Should you come across addition items, bags or any misc facts id like to stay connected. Also the first aid kit behind the passenger seat. Could you provide the place where you picked it up? Thx
Nice setup for your vehicle.
An FYI on water bottled in plastic. that plastic is not meant for long-term storage. It starts to break down and release chemicals into the water in temps over 70* and direct sunlight. Its obviously better than nothing in an emergency but if you plan of rotating it out as drinking water, you may want to consider something else
well put, but i believe he uses the water frequently, i ddi the same thing at airsoft matches, hot sunny days, ill prepped kids, always good to pack some for open use.
That's fine, just as long as your realize that it take only hours in that kind of heat for the chems to start to leach.
Looks very well prepared. Thanks for sharing. Just subbed.
Excellent, probably i would add a wire cutter,a little axe or an extra gas tank, but your equipment looks great
Nicely done. Gracias for sharing
i like the setup. I came away from the vid with a few ideas. From the water in the back and your shirt I would say you are in PHX. I bet your Get Home Bag/BOB has sun block.
Good stuff!
1.have to keep your Water hidden from sunlight
2.Need an oximeter olso
3.single use plastic gloves
4.Water proof Poncho
Other than that very good!
hey blast Sb I was wondering where you got the visor organizor thanks in advance.
Great load out! Nice to see more people out there thinking ahead for the possibility of helping others and not just themselves! I agree with others, I would expand the vehicle kit to include some tools for vehicle repair. Also maybe a fold-able shovel/axe, and a bag of kitty litter/shop absorbent (help to clean up vehicle spills/ added traction when spread under tire if ever stuck). What kind of cable is that or where did you get it?
Thanks for sharing, nice tips.
You’re a bit obsessed with medical gear, aren’t you? I have a first responder kit (in pickup bed toolbox), which I thought was a bit much. You appear to have several times that spread throughout the vehicle.
So I've got a question. First of all I live in east TN, I wanna get some flares and extinguisher in my suv. I'm concerned though because of the hot summers and cold winters. Will those products be ok to stay in the car at all times in all climate conditions?
not really sure. however, an extinguisher is good to operate from -65 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The flares are also probably stable enough for the conditions. thanks for watching!
I live in New Hampshire and have no problem with my 2 fire extinguishers in my truck also have had flairs in all of my cars and trucks from when I lived In California to here never had a problem
Great video, Im building a bug out rig from an 01 suburban, stealing your fire ext mounting idea!!
Good Video, I like your setup , one suggestion Tint those windows.
More gear reviews please 👊🏽
Where did you find your molle visor? I have looked all over for one like yours
So many people worried about theft I have never had any thing stolen and have just as much as you and I Love the load out you have but would upgrade that cable to a tow rated chain . I have seen those cables brake under heavy load
Very good setups.
4:06 what pack is that? where did you buy it from and how much?
Big Mike that is a condor deployment bag $22 wotks great i have one
Tacti-Cock!!!?? I fuckin died right there.... lol 😂
I was wondering where I would find the Vehicle Med Kit, or something similar. Looked on Amazon and didn't have much luck.
